Prince Consort

Under the leadership of Zhang Dayi, Zhao Chongzhao went to the place where Xie Zean lived temporarily.

Before knocking on the door, loud laughter came from the yard, it was Xie Zean who was playing with Xie Xiaomei.Looking from the half-opened door, Xie Zean is lazily sitting on a recliner, weaving grasshoppers for Xiaomei Xie, surrounded by a few unfamiliar faces, looking a little timid, but looking at Xie Zean with eyes full of admiration .

Zhang Dayi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Xie Ze'an thought Zhang Dayi had come by himself, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Zhang, the door is open, come in."

Zhang Dayi pushed open the door and led Zhao Chongzhao inside: "Sanlang, look who is here?"

Xie Ze'an looked up, surprised: "Your Highness?!"

In fact, Xie Ze'an wasn't too surprised, he had already considered Zhao Chongzhao's side when he picked Zhang Dayi.

Although Yan Chong had said that Zhao Chongzhao missed him as early as the second time they met, Xie Ze'an didn't think so.

Xie Ze'an has seen too many people like Zhao Chongzhao, and it is they who the nobles forget about things.

There are countless people around this kind of people who flatter them and curry favor with them, and it really doesn't mean much to them to meet them by chance.

If you want to really make friends with them, you must constantly find ways to increase your sense of presence—in short, every time you appear, you should make the other party feel fresh, and every time you meet, you should make the other party feel that you are very useful.

Don't think about love and indifference, high-ranking officials have plenty of ways to have fun, and if you are gone, someone else can make up for it. Who will tell you what love is?

Those who believe in "love" are fools.

Xie Ze'an took care of his flattered expression, and laughed happily: "I thought His Highness had forgotten me."

Looking at Xie Zean's happy and obedient smile, Zhao Chongzhao felt very comfortable.

Well, he almost forgot about Xie Zean, but he wouldn't be so stupid as to admit it in front of Xie Zean.

Zhao Chongzhao didn't respond, but asked, "I heard that you were the one who came up with Mr. Qin's chair?"

Xie Ze'an said: "That's right, I asked Brother Zhang to find a carpenter to make the blueprints I drew."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "I knew you had a good brain." He walked into Xie Zean's house while talking, "You are too small here, aren't you?"

Xie Ze'an: "...not too young."

This house is big enough for their family of three, and it is not too crowded to live in the homeless children he took in a few days ago, and even a room can be vacated for him to use as a "studio".Zhao Chongzhao can say he is small because he lives in the mansion named "Imperial Palace", right?

...the wicked bourgeoisie!

Zhao Chongzhao changed the subject, pointing to those children who were about the same age as Xiaomei Xie and said, "Why do you have more siblings?"

Xie Zean said without changing his expression: "My aunt gave birth last night."

Zhao Chongzhao: "..."

Xie Ze'an saw that Mrs. Li came out, and quickly corrected: "They are all homeless vagrants. I think they know how to make progress, so I took them in."

While speaking, Mrs. Li had already approached, and greeted him gently.

As the only adult in the family, she had to entertain guests when they came.Seeing Zhao Chongzhao's light and simple attire, Li's heart was relieved a lot, and he greeted with a light smile: "Your Highness, please have a cup of tea inside. Saburo doesn't know the etiquette, and let the guests stand and talk in the wind, please don't be offended."

Zhao Chongzhao met Li Shi a few times, and only thought she was an ordinary weak woman, but this time he met her face to face in a serious way, but felt very different.

Not to mention her good looks and figure, she no longer looked like the country rough woman she remembered just by her conversation—probably it was her son's growth that made her find a backbone.

Zhao Chongzhao did not forget to complain: "Isn't this guy just rude?" He raised his chin and motioned to Mrs. Li, "He said just now that you gave birth to these little devils last night!"

Li: "..."

Xie Ze'an: "...I'm going to make tea!"

After entering the room and sitting down, Zhao Chongzhao went straight to the point: "I want you to get me a chair, and if I want the only one, it also has wheels."

Xie Ze'an was a little surprised, but didn't ask further: "Okay, what do you want? Elegant? Simple? Or luxurious?"

Zhao Chongzhao frowned, worried: "I don't know either."

Xie Ze'an said: "Then I will draw a few more blueprints, and later you can choose the one that closes your eyes and let Brother Zhang find someone to make it."

Zhao Chongzhao said happily: "Success, let's do it like this!"

After speaking, he hurriedly led Zhang Dade away again.

Zhang Dayi stayed behind, and he and Xie Zean were the only ones left to drink the brewed tea.

Zhang Dayi said: "Sanlang, did you expect that His Highness would come here?"

Xie Ze'an said: "I'm not a fortune-teller, so I don't count so much. I originally hoped that you, Brother Zhang, would expand your business so that Dade would rise faster in the palace, so that I could benefit from your honor. It was a mistake that brought His Highness here."

Zhang Dayi understood, Xie Zean originally wanted to put a long line to catch big fish, but the bait was too good, the big fish took the bait directly.In general, this result is still within his calculations.

Zhang Dayi said, "What are you going to do next, Saburo?"

Xie Ze'an said: "If you are not going to do anything, Brother Zhang, please don't do anything else, and concentrate on completing what His Highness needs. Money is not something that is better, we have to find a way to stabilize the business first."

Zhang Dayi is a native of Daqing, so he has a deeper understanding of this matter.The capital city has never been a place where these outsiders can be arrogant and proud. Don't think that earning a lot is great. There are as many royal relatives and relatives in the capital city as dogs, and dignitaries walk everywhere. They can trample you into the mud immediately with a single word.

Zhang Dayi said: "Sanlang, you mean to let me be close to the backing of His Highness?"

Xie Ze'an said: "You should have this kind of awareness long ago." The younger brother works beside the prince, who else can Zhang Dayi turn to besides the prince as a backer?

Zhang Dayi said: "I have thought about doing this before, but my ability is limited, and I will only make a fool of myself if I lean on it rashly, and it will make the Dade lose face." He looked at Xie Ze'an, his eyes became a little burning, "Sanlang, you... ..."

Xie Ze'an smiled and said, "I want to be a part of Brother Zhang's glory."

Zhang Dayi understood, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, I'll go back and let the carpenter stand by, and you can just draw the blueprints!"

Xie Ze'an acted quickly, and sent the drawings to Zhang Dayi's house that night, and Zhang Dayi sent them to the palace gate, and asked the servants waiting there to send them to the East Palace.

The drawings were quickly delivered to Zhao Chongzhao, and Zhao Chongzhao excitedly went to find his sister Zhao Yanning.Princess Yan Ning was half lying on the bed and listening to someone reading with her eyes closed. After hearing the sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes and looked at her brother with a happy face, and asked, "Brother, what happy things happened?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Old Master Qin got a chair with wheels. It works very well. I'm thinking about making one for Ning'er and you too! No, I asked someone to draw a blueprint for you. Let's see what you like." one."

Princess Yan Ning frowned, but seeing her brother's smile, she still took the drawing and opened it.She is not Zhang Dayi, nor is she Zhao Chongzhao. Although she has no energy to paint, she has learned to paint in a serious way. As soon as she got started with the drawings, she was a little surprised: the drawings are very clear.

Yes, clear.She has read countless books, and she has seen many blueprints in books. At that time, she only felt that most of those drawings were confusing. Now that she has such a blueprint for comparison, she immediately understands what they lack.

This kind of picture is for craftsmen. It is so realistic and detailed that you can even understand where to put the nails at a glance!

Princess Yan Ning's eyes brightened slightly: "Brother, who drew this picture?"

When Zhao Chongzhao saw his younger sister staring at the first picture, he thought she didn't like it, but when he heard his younger sister's question, he immediately became excited.He said: "Didn't I tell you last time that I met an interesting guy, the one named Xie Sanlang, he drew it for me. Why, what's wrong?"

Princess Yanning asked, "Is that the Saburo who gave you the medicine?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Yes, that's him! Ning'er, do you want to see him? I'll let him come into the palace to play with you!"

Princess Yan Ning frowned and asked, "Have you found out about his background?"

Zhao Chongzhao said disapprovingly: "No, I have sent someone back to their place to check. It's more than half a month's journey, and I didn't find it so quickly." He knew that his sister was worried about his own safety, so he comforted him, "Sanlang and his family are on the way." There are three people, a woman with a pair of children, Commander Yan passed the test, they have never practiced martial arts, what is there to investigate?"

Princess Yan Ning said: "Not practicing martial arts doesn't mean other things. For example, he knows how to use medicine, maybe he can also use poison."

Zhao Chongzhao knew that his sister was right, but he was still very uncomfortable.

Thinking every day that this will be calculated and that will be calculated, are you tired?

He is both angry and distressed. What is angry is that he is not up-to-earth and can't do things well; what is distressed is that his sister is already like this, and he still has to worry about himself.

Zhao Chongzhao promised dejectedly: "Okay, you choose me and have someone send back the blueprints, and you will definitely not meet him again!"

Seeing Zhao Chongzhao drooping his head, Princess Yanning couldn't bear it.She bit her lip and said, "I'm just joking, bro, won't you be really scared?"

Zhao Chongzhao was taken aback for a moment, his dazed look looked particularly easy to bully.

Seeing her elder brother's appearance, Princess Yan Ning felt a little worried.

How can such an elder brother control the ministers and kings?

Especially Prince Gong...

That uncle's behavior has nothing to do with the word "Gong"!

Princess Yan Ning took a deep breath, calmed down and smiled lightly: "You send someone to pick him up to meet me. I want to meet him and learn this painting technique from him."

Zhao Chongzhao was happy, and he immediately said: "Okay, I'll send someone to find him right now!"

Princess Yan Ning said: "...It's very late."

Only then did Zhao Chongzhao remember that it was a big night, men and women had different seats when they were seven years old, it was already impolite for a princess to see outsiders, and if they met again on a big night, what would the rumors be?

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Then I'll find someone to pick up Sanlang tomorrow, Ning'er, please rest."

Princess Yanning said, "Yes."

This Saburo is really good, many ideas are very clever, but she must first check before letting him get close to her brother.

People around brother can have ambitions, but they must not have dissent.
