Drunk Bamboo

In the morning, Xie Yuzhu woke up comfortably and slept very soundly. She discovered another advantage of Huaqin Wind: it warms the bed.

Breakfast was eaten in Bailianxuan. Everyone in the mansion sat in an orderly manner. Everyone had a smile on their face and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Did the prince and princess sleep well last night?" asked the nanny with a smile.

Xie Yuzhu nodded as a response.

"I slept so well. The bed was big and soft, and there was a faint fragrance. I almost overslept." Hua Qinfeng said casually.

Everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked at Xie Yuzhu at the same time.

Hua Qinfeng’s words are really suggestive.

"It's cold, so I added an extra quilt. I also put some lilies in the pillow to help me sleep, so..." Xie Yuzhu wanted to explain a little, but she found that the more she explained, the more strange their eyes became. Hua Qinfeng just drank porridge and ate cakes, and looked at her with a puzzled look.

"That's good, that's good. Let's eat, let's eat." The nanny smiled kindly, suggesting that everyone should stop asking questions.

"Eat, eat, our princess who is a genius doctor is almost embarrassed." Bai Guo chuckled beside him.

Miracle doctor?!

Xie Yuzhu frowned.

Bai Guo said admiringly: "Chaoyang told us yesterday about the princess's outstanding performance in the Taifu Mansion. Our princess is a miraculous doctor praised by even the imperial physician. Let's see who dares to say that our princess is not as good as those famous ladies in the future."

"Xie Yuzhu knows medical skills, and no one can say a word about it outside the mansion from now on!" Hua Qinfeng's face suddenly changed, and his tone was majestic and intimidating, "Chaoyang, when did you become so talkative?"

"I...I didn't think it through." Chaoyang realized his problem and immediately stood up and bent down to admit his mistake.

Everyone at the table put down their bowls and chopsticks almost at the same time, without making any sound.

"It's not a big deal, don't take it so seriously." Xie Yuzhu patted Hua Qinfeng's hand, and then said to Chaoyang, "Hurry up, I know you won't go out and tell anyone casually. However, even if you don't say it, the people in Zhang's house and Qi Imperial Doctor may not tell it. I have thought about it a long time ago, and I can still do things to fool people myself."

Chaoyang did not move, waiting for Hua Qinfeng's order.

"Xie Yuzhu, you'll be in trouble if people find out that you've killed someone!" Hua Qinfeng said sternly.

Doctors are not gods, there are people who cannot be cured, there are lives that cannot be saved. But Xie Yuzhu, who married into the Feng Palace, is not like that. Just like Feng Wang Hua Qinfeng, there cannot be any mistakes, otherwise it would be a sin.

This was the first time he showed his majestic and domineering look, like a prince.

Xie Yuzhu was not afraid, nor did she remain silent, nor did she retreat. Instead, she smiled faintly and said gently, "Your Highness, you should be able to understand at this moment that Nanny Chaoyang is worried about you on weekdays."

Hua Qinfeng's cold eyes trembled, then gradually softened, and his tone became lighter.

"Get up."

The originally happy meal was ruined by Hua Qinfeng's roar.

The nanny looked at the prince and princess with a look of relief and a smile in her eyes.

Everyone felt that after the princess married into the family, the prince seemed to have changed a little and started to care more about some things.

After the meal, Hua Qinfeng left in silence, which was rare for him. Xie Yuzhu followed him out, intending to say a few words to him.

At this time, Lao Liu came to report: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice Zhang Xinghe came to visit you and said he wanted to thank you and the princess. He is already in the hall."

Hua Qinfeng frowned and said in a low voice: "Got it, I'll go right away."

"Who is Zhang Xinghe?" Xie Yuzhu asked.

"Master Zhang is his grandfather."

Xie Yuzhu nodded, and sensing that Hua Qinfeng's expression was not right when he heard the name, she went to the hall with him.

"Your subordinate Zhang Xinghe pays homage to the prince and princess."

He was wearing a scarlet robe, standing like a pine or cypress, with sharp eyebrows and black eyes. He was polite and well-mannered, with both the integrity of a soldier and the elegance of a scholar.

Zhang Xinghe was a person who could blend two completely different temperaments together without any sense of incongruity. Such a person made Xie Yuzhu look at him twice more.

"Long time no see." Hua Qinfeng seemed to be greeting an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Your Highness has returned to Zhongdu. I have been busy with work and have not been here to see you. My grandfather had a sudden heart attack yesterday. Fortunately, Your Highness and Your Highness came to his aid. Everyone in the Zhang family is extremely grateful."

"It's our responsibility to do Grand Tutor's work. Master Zhang is so busy that he doesn't even have time to come to my wedding banquet?"

Xie Yuzhu was sitting on a chair next to Hua Qinfeng. When she heard his different tone of voice, she looked at him in surprise.

"There happened to be an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with that day, so I sent someone to deliver the gift the next day." Zhang Xinghe lowered his eyebrows and eyes, respectful but not humble.

"Zhang Xinghe, we haven't seen each other for three years. Do you have to be so distant when talking to me?" His tone was filled with suppressed anger.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, and hierarchy cannot be confused. The Central Capital is not the Western Frontier, and I dare not act rashly." Zhang Xinghe remained expressionless.

"When you return to Zhongdu, everyone has changed. I heard that you served as father's personal guard for a year and won his trust. Later, you were transferred to the Ministry of Justice and became the vice minister in just one year. Zhang Xinghe, you are amazing. You can join the army if you want to and write if you want to. What do you want to do and what do you think of us?" Hua Qinfeng stood up, his voice excited and loud.

Xie Yuzhu was a little confused about the situation, so she didn't say anything at first. Instead, she pulled his hand and patted it gently.

Hua Qinfeng was still angry, but when he saw Xie Yuzhu's calm face, his heart suddenly calmed down and he sat back in his chair.

Zhang Xinghe caught a glimpse of the scene just now and his eyes moved slightly.

He lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you know that what I want to do in my heart has not changed."

Hua Qinfeng: "It's been so many years, you still can't let it go?"

Zhang Xinghe: "Your Majesty believes it, but I don't."

Xie Yuzhu: What's going on? It seems like there's a lot of story behind this.

I am curious and want to know, but I am afraid of trouble and don’t want to know.

Zhang Xinghe didn't even sit down, and bowed again: "I still have to go on duty, so I won't bother you, Your Majesty, or Your Majesty."

Hua Qinfeng said harshly: "Don't come to the palace if you don't have anything to do in the future."

"I will obey." Another bow.

Yun Ling passed by Zhang Xinghe while holding a cup of tea. When their eyes met, they seemed to be surprised for a moment and looked away at the same time.

Xie Yuzhu sighed, thinking that Hua Qinfeng had offended another important figure again, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Master Zhang, please stay."

Zhang Xinghe stopped and saluted: "Princess."

Xie Yuzhu explained, "Although I don't know the past of Lord Zhang and the prince, but from the conversation just now, I can probably guess that you two were very good friends in the past. People who are familiar with the prince know that the prince has a straightforward personality and does not speak in a roundabout way. He says what he thinks. The angrier he is, the more he cares."

"Princess, you don't need to explain. I understand. No one in the Zhang Mansion will spread a word that the princess knows medical skills."

Xie Yuzhu was shocked. She rested her chin on her hand and thought, muttering, "Everyone around the prince seems to be very smart, not just ordinary smart. Why is it that he..."

Zhang Xinghe raised his eyes slightly: "Your Highness would never say what he said just now if he wasn't in front of someone he trusted. I think there must be a reason why the princess was able to gain the trust of your Highness in such a short time. I was a little confused at first, but now I suddenly understand a little."

"Understand what?"

"The princess and the prince are the same person."

After seeing Zhang Xinghe off, Xie Yuzhu slowly walked back to the hall. Hua Qinfeng was still sitting in his original seat and had not left.

Xie Yuzhu asked, "Is Lord Zhang a good friend of the prince?"

Hua Qinfeng raised his thick eyebrows: "Zhang Xinghe said that?"

Curious, "He didn't deny it. Lord Zhang is both civil and military, how did the prince become good friends with him?"

He slammed the table and stood up: "Who is good friends with a snob like Zhang Xinghe? Don't mention him in front of me anymore!"

"Snob? Lord Zhang looks very upright..." Xie Yuzhu looked up and wanted to ask something else, but she could no longer see Hua Qinfeng.
