Drunk Bamboo

"Don't you need to thank me in person?"

"I already said thank you at that time. It's just a small matter of a cloak, why should I thank you again?" Hua Qinfeng didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"Your Highness, you actually treat them all as your family, right?" Xie Yuzhu asked softly.

Hua Qinfeng was stunned.

He lowered his head in deep thought, with a serious expression on his face. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Xie Yuzhu explained: "The only people who don't need to thank each other are family members."

Only when dealing with relatives will you disregard your image and not care if they get angry, because this is natural. Even if you forget about it or have a quarrel, you will not really take it to heart.

There is no overnight hatred.

Maybe it’s a word, maybe it’s a smile, maybe it’s a look, maybe it’s a piece of candy...it can all be resolved.

Hua Qinfeng would get angry when the queen was wronged, and would come forward when the queen was slandered. All of these showed that deep in his heart, he regarded them as his closest people.

Even if they have different intentions.

Hua Qinfeng was silent again.

Until I met Taifu Zhang Yiliang and Zhang Xinghe.

The direction they were heading was the East Palace.

When Hua Qinfeng saw Zhang Xinghe, he suddenly perked up, his eyes filled with disdain, and he muttered:

"I can still see you in the palace even if I don't attend court."

The voice was neither loud nor low, and everyone present heard it.

Xie Yuzhu smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Xinghe had a stern face and no emotion could be seen.

Only Hua Qinfeng, the person involved, looked indifferent.

Tutor Zhang is mature and steady, and the thing he never forgets is etiquette.

"This old minister greets His Majesty and Princess."

Xie Yuzhu saw Hua Qinfeng turning his head away, not looking at Zhang Xinghe, and not wanting to talk.

I could only take over the conversation and smooth things over:

"You are so polite, Master. Seeing that you are in good health, Doctor Qi is truly an amazing doctor."

More than half a month ago, the tutor was still lying in bed, his face ashen.

When I see him again now, he looks energetic and his eyes are bright.

The person Hua Qinfeng saved at all costs is now right in front of him.

If it weren't for his persistence, I might not have seen him.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuzhu truly felt that everything Hua Qinfeng had done at that time was worthwhile and meaningful.

"I would like to thank you, Your Highness and Your Highness for trying your best to invite Doctor Qi. Otherwise, I would not be standing here right now. For this, Your Highness was imprisoned, the Princess was injured, and Doctor Qi was demoted. I feel deeply guilty. I have mixed feelings after hearing about this."

A look of shame appeared on Master Zhang's weathered face.

Hua Qinfeng turned his head and said loudly:

"Master, what does this have to do with you? Why are you feeling so mixed emotions?"

Looking at Zhang Xinghe, he accused: "The doctor said that the master should not worry too much, or his heart disease will relapse. Zhang Xinghe, there are many things going on in the palace recently. Will you let the master enter the palace after a while?"

Zhang Xinghe looked at Hua Qinfeng calmly, his tone was also cold:

"Grandfather went to the palace today to resign from the position of Grand Tutor to His Majesty and return to his hometown to retire. This is to go to the East Palace to explain to the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince in person."

Hua Qinfeng was surprised and asked, "Master, are you really going to retire and return home?"

Zhang Taifu smiled amiably and said, "That is what I thought, but Your Majesty did not agree. From now on, Xinghe will take the Crown Prince's class on your behalf. I will go to the palace every ten days to inspect and teach."

Hua Qinfeng said: "This is good, it combines work and rest, and we can't just stay in the study."

Hua Qinfeng seemed very satisfied with this result.

Zhang Xinghe raised his head and said sarcastically:

"Your Highness' memory is not very good. A few days ago, it was Your Highness who reminded me that my grandfather should resign from the palace affairs and rest up. But today, he changed his mind again."

Hua Qinfeng looked up and looked at him:

"I see that Master is in good health. Wouldn't it be a waste of Master's abilities to let him stay at home to grow old?"

Zhang Xinghe said indifferently: "Your Majesty is always right."

The tone sounded irritating.

The Huaqin style is even worse.

"Zhang Xinghe, everything I say is for the good of the Master, why are you arguing with me?"

"I am only speaking the truth. I am expressing my doubts."

When the two meet, they start arguing after just a few words.

One is cold and indifferent, the other is impetuous.

It's like ice and fire, incompatible.

But in the hall, the person who was not afraid of power and stood beside Hua Qinfeng was Zhang Xinghe.

As soon as the results of the investigation into the banquet incident came out, the first person to come to the door and tell the truth was Zhang Xinghe.

The person who spoke coldly and unkindly, but added a word of concern at the end, was Zhang Xinghe.

Xie Yuzhu quickly interrupted: "Your Majesty, my feet are a little sore from standing."

Hua Qinfeng's attention immediately shifted to her:

"Did you use too much force with your left foot? Qi Zhen said it would hurt if you use your left foot. I'll carry you."

"No, no, I'll just lean on the prince and rest for a while."

Zhang Taifu said, "The Crown Prince is still waiting for me, so I will go ahead."

Xie Yuzhu: "Taifu, take care."

After walking a few steps, Master Zhang said, "Xinghe, I never see you talking to anyone like this on weekdays."

Zhang Xinghe said seriously: "Xinghe lost his composure."

Zhang Taifu just smiled and said, "How can there be any loss of composure between friends?"

Xie Yuzhu on this side regretted very much that she had just come out to help and lied that her feet hurt.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty. I can walk on my own."

"You just said your feet hurt and you can't walk anymore. I'll carry you out. You should stay in the mansion for the next few days and don't go out again. Wait until your injury heals before you can get out of bed and walk."

"I rested for a while leaning on the prince, and my feet stopped hurting."

"Don't move, or I'll use Qinggong."

"..."

Have to compromise.

Xie Yuzhu buried her head in her hands so that no one could see it.

But all the palace people passing by knew that it was Prince Feng who was carrying the princess on his back again.

Yun Ling, who was following behind him, smiled happily:

"Your Majesty, Princess, this is so nice."

Chaoyang also looked at Yunling with a smile and responded.

"Ah."

Xie Yuzhu recalled that Hua Qinfeng was in a bad mood once because of Zhang Xinghe.

After several interactions with them, I saw with my own eyes their relationship of both friend and foe, and I was very curious.

Xie Yuzhu poked her head out: "Prince, did anything happen between you and Lord Zhang?"

Hua Qinfeng was silent for a while.

Xie Yuzhu then said: "If your Majesty doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."

"I don't know what happened between the prince and Lord Zhang, but from my perspective, Lord Zhang's friendship with the prince can be seen."

"You don't need many friends. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A true friend is hard to come by. Don't miss each other in misunderstandings. Life is only a few decades long. Don't leave any regrets. It's pointless to regret it when you're old. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Why don't we invite Master Zhang to our house for dinner someday? Or invite Master Zhang to Taohua Tower for tea?"

Peach Blossom Tower?

"..."

"Or we can go to Anhe Restaurant for dinner. I've never been to Anhe Restaurant before. When I went there with Fourth Miss Xiao, we only drank tea and didn't even have time to look at the menu."

Hua Qinfeng finally spoke: "We'll go after your foot injury heals."
